Magda is a real stand-out character for me in books I've read recently, I can't quite stop thinking about her' Jane Garvey, BBC Woman's Hour 'Fierce and compassionate. Three brilliantly realised characters, finely drawn and entirely believable' Mail on SundayMagda is a former scientist with a bad temper and a sharp tongue, now living alone in a huge house by the sea.
